More Italian Hours & Other Stories — Helen Barolini

Fiction. MORE ITALIAN HOURS is an elegant, intelligent and, finally, luminous book - Carole Maso. These stories captured my attention from the beginning to the end. Barolini's telling details create the characters so vividly that I felt I could almost touch them...Italy too is alive in these stories as the characters inhabiting it - Nahid Rachlin, author of Foreigner. Helen Barolini emerges...as both a serious literary artist and a spokesperson with a feisty feminist conscience for Italian American social and literary issues - Rita Signorelli-Pappas, Women's Review of Books.
